Hey. I really like the idea of the fediverse and Lemmy and would want to know as a beginner/not so experienced regarding selfhosting what would be the best way to get started? I saw there are vps options, but don’t know of I’m looking in the right direction.

    I have a somewhat related question: is is possible to help the infrastructure by providing a node to host an existing instance?

    I don’t wanna have to create and maintain/moderate my own, but would be willing to donate some power and bandwidth to the platform in order to improve performance/geographic distribution etc by having a replica node for an instance/instances of choice.

    Thanks

      I don’t believe that’s possible. At least, not right now. Happy to be corrected though.

      I would also love to help in this way. I have a small home server and an internet connection that has plenty of capacity available.
